Portland Trail Blazers vs. Minnesota Timberwolves

When the Minnesota Timberwolves host the Portland Trail Blazers on the first Saturday night of the new year, fans will be sure to see a great game featuring two of the league's best big men and two of its most exciting young point guards. Defending NBA rebounding champion Kevin Love faces off against All-Star LaMarcus Aldridge up front. It's a match-up that's sure to excite fans who have debated whether Love or Aldridge is the best power forward in the NBA today. Meanwhile, the Blazers' point guard Damian Lillard is the early front-runner for the 2012-13 Rookie of the Year award -- but he'll be facing some tough competition in Minnesota's Ricky Rubio, the star of the Spanish national team and one of the most dazzling passers in the NBA. Cheer on Love, Rubio, Nikola Pekovic, Andrei Kirilenko and the rest of the Timberwolves in person at the Target Center.
